Another day, another clip from the J.J. Abrams audio commentary that will be included on the upcoming Blu-ray re-release of Star Wars: The Force Awakens! This except, which you can watch for yourself over at io9, finds Abrams talking over Kylo Ren’s meeting with Supreme Leader Snoke. The bulk of the clip is Abrams lavishing praise on Andy Serkis (who he cast after watching an early cut of Dawn of the Planet of the Apes), but he also reveals that this scene originally featured an unmasked Kylo Ren. When he decided to save that reveal for later in the movie, a CGI mask was placed over Adam Driver’s head.
